Welcome to Acrise
CLICK FOR 2021 CENSUS DATAIntroduction
Acrise is an ecclesiastical and civil parish in the Folkestone and Hythe district, Kent, England, about six miles north of Folkestone. The settlement derives its name from Old English, 'Acrise' being a development of the Old English term for "Oak Rise", the parish being on a small hill, still populated with old oak trees. The parish includes four particularly significant buildings. The 18th century Acrise Place is a manor house. The medieval church of St Martin (which now stands within the grounds of the big house) is of Norman origin. The Old Rectory is a very fine example of a parsonage dwelling of its era and is a grade II listed building. Courts Cottage, also grade II listed, is the oldest building in Acrise with a fine Tudor chimney and origins from the late 15th century or early 16th.
